analysts warn costs won’t normalize until 2028, so buy RAM and SSDs now.
I’ll buy RAM and SSD’s then, thanks.
spoiler
It won’t ever go back down
The fucking gall, right?
Really wish I had bought some more hdds, NVMe, and ram last November. But I just haaaaad to wait for January
Same. I soon need a new HDD for my growing collection of Linux ISOs. Bought one 24tb drive for about 350 last May and the very same drive now costs 500+
Sure wish I had bought a second one back then
Y do u collect Linux ISOs?
Because I like to stare at them in my free time. Sometimes for like 2-2.5h, sometimes only 1 hour or even 20 minutes.
Do you ever stare at them for 26.372 minutes?
That’s the sweet spot
lol, that was about the size drive I was targeting. I got one for Xmas at least, but then the price just kept going up and up and up. I wanted to get 4 or 5 more to set up a raid array
I’m just glad the SMART values of mine all look good. I might have to slow down my acquisition of Linux ISOs for a little, but I hope it gets better soon
Same. My sister bought a kit of two 16gb sodimm sticks back in October for ~$100. I regret trying to wait for holiday deals…
I am sooo glad I got my new gaming rig last black friday, even though it wasn’t a great discount
I bought a framework laptop without RAM just before all this, decided to splurge on 2x24GB sticks. I’m glad I did but I still wish I bought bigger ones.
I can’t even buy the ram I need anymore, even if I wanted to pay out the ass for it.
Call: if openai tanks it’s IPO, a lot of ram and SSD manufacturers will tank too
Hence why openAI seems now to want to stall IPO as long as they can…
And you are right, they singlehandedly are most of the problem despite not even being in the strongest position even if you are bullish on AI.
That’s the whole idea. Buy up all the silicon production, go public, tank and take the rest of the tech industry down with you, and rule the world.
I bought a a 2Tb NVme last April and it has has since doubled in price. Crazy times man. Guess I’m sitting on my rig for the foreseeable.
Same, bought 2x22TB enterprise HDDs for $260 each in May of last year. Even recertified ones now go for $650. Praying they don’t die
I hate this stupid gold rush at the expense of the consumer.
Who else would it be at the expense of?
The wealthy haven’t finished funneling everything to themselves.
Selling to consumers is charity at this point. They are such a tiny portion of the market. Consumer will lose always unless regulations step in.
Witg finite supply casual users will lose against people using computers to make money.
so buy RAM and SSDs now.
Ah, so, marketing, not news…
I mean, both times in two years ive bought storage/ram the prices have increased afterwards. So depends on how much you need it/can wait.
Two decades of being twatted on the nose for price fixing disappears in one year.
Brings me back to the 90’s, remember the RAM dealers at the computer swap meets/parts conventions?
